NEW AQURDUcT BRIDGE.
Some Idea of what the Structure Will
be Like.

... be Like.
The plans for the free bridge to be built
on the piers Of the existing Aqueduct
bridge have been almost completed, and
sufficient information has been obtained to
give fair idea Of what the structure will
be like. There will be one through span Of
160 feet over the canal. This will rest on
pier and abutment yet TO be built. There
will be about 1917 feet Of trestle over the
existing north abutment, followed by nine
deckspans Of ia feet each. These rest on
eight piers and two abutments, now In use
for the present bridge. There will be some
700 linear feet OF embankmeLt at the south
ern end and approach. a.-
The material to be used In the construc-
tion Of the bridge will be either wrought
iron or steel, with the exception Of wheel
guards, floor joists, and flooring, which will
be Of wood. The roadway will be twenty
four feet wide in the clear, with two side
walks six feet wide. The through span
must be Of sufficient height to give at least
fourteen feet head room from the surface Of
the canal.
The embankment on the southern end
will be under a separate contract. 1t will
be thirty.six feet wide on top. What side
slopes need paving will be paved with Po-
tomac quarry stone laid on edge parallel to
the roadway.
The contract for the erection OF the new
bridge will also include the removal OF those
portions Of the old structure which are not
required 10 the construction of the new one.
There will be no traffic over the Aqueduct
bridge while work is progressing on its
successor,

THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY.
Should IL BE Left Undor the Control of
the Bishope?


The Baltimore american says that the
question has been raised, with regard TO the
new Catholic university, whether the man
agement should be In the hands Of a re-
ligious body, the Jesuits or the Benedictines,
or left entirely under the control OF the
bishops Of this country. Yesterday
clergyman In this city stated that the Jesuits
do not want to control It.; In fact, they have
as much work as they can attend to In pre-
siding over their own colleges, which in
many instances are sadly hampered by debt.
In speaking further on the subject the same
gentleman said: "lf the care Of the instruc-
tion devolves on the bishops, they will,
doubtless, select the most eminent men In
this or that special branch. So, for exam
pie, the chair Of science may be offered to
Mivart, that OF canon law to DIR. Smith, of
New Jersey; that Of English literature to
some equally able man, while the chairs OF
theology and. philosophy will be filled
a Jesuit, Jesuit; II a Dominican, a mem
Der OF that order, and so Of all tie
others. The Dominicans, the Benedc.
tines, the Augustnians, and the
Jesuits have professors enough among them
to man the university, provided judcious
selection is made from those at home and
abroad. OF course, this imposes consid-
cradle amount Of trouble on the trustees,
for they must be ever on the aleit to keep
the places supplied, and that, too, satlsfac-
torily. The advantage Of giving the con-
troll OF the university to religious order is
that the trustees would be relieved of the
responsibility Of selecting professors, as the
order charges itself to make the selections.
The Jesuits, vii, repeat, are no more de-
eirous OF securing control Of the university
than they are Of running the city govern
ment. The Jesuits are by far the most
learned order In the Catholic Church. The
men at Loyola aud Woodstock have always
been men Of extraordinary power and abll.
ity. II seems to me that IL is best for the
university not to be controlled by one spe-
cial order, but its professors should be se-
lected from all OF the orders, regard always
being had for solid learning rather than
mere superficial knowledge"

INSUFFICIENT SALARIES.
How it is Proposed TO Increase the
Small Ones.

AT the session of the Baltimore NJ. F..
conference held yesterday, Rev. Job A.
Price, Of this city, from the committee on
"supplementing insufficient salaries, y made
report recommending the following plan:
1. That one-balf of the dividend of the
Preachers Aid Society, or as much as is needed,
be devoted to this purpose.
2 That we take a collection annually in each
church In the month of May, TO which we
shall ourselves contribute not less than per
cent. Of our salaries, TO be known as the sus-
tentation fund collection, and that the money
thus collected together with the amount re.
oeiyed from the dividend of the Preachers
AID society, before, referred to, shall take the
place OF the church relief collection aud the
2 per cent assessment on salaries
3. That an estimate OF the amount needed
be made annually by the conference steward
on the basis of the salaries received. including
The amount paid 10y the sustentation fund, and
aprortioned TO the churches and members of
the conference, who shall be responsible for
raising said amounts.
L. That IL is agreed that the conference coll
lection shall he devoted to other claimants
than the effective men, and that those reoeiv-
ing sid from the sustentation fund renounce
their claim on the conference collection.
D. That we pledge ourselves to bring in the
amounts appodioned, aiming TO secure by the
aid this fund salary of 500, exclusive of
house rent for married men, aud of 500. iu'
elusive of board, for unmarried map.
g. That the conference request our btshops
lor series OF years TO favor In their admins
traiion consolidation rather than a partition
ofthe work.
G. That the conference during the same
time 2ealously guard against by both gateways
admission on trial or unbalanced transfer.
s. That the conference. .aiieotionately admon-
ish the people on this subject aud advise them
20 adopt some such system of finance as Is eu.
ioins d in our book of discipline, which, being
followed by some of our charges, enables them
TO afford their pastors sufficient support, and
that furthermore the board of presiding elders
be directed to present this subject TO the
quarterly conference and to report derciict
charges to the annual conference.
o. Thet in the near future an effort be m lde
by general canvass through the confere nce
10 Increase and, II possible, to double the
capital of the Preachers Aid Society, thereby
enabling 1t to grant annually q sum sufficient
to raise the smaller salaries to certain p,ci-
fed minimum of s7U0 or $500 or 5000, as might
be possible.
After lengthy discussion and unsuccess-
ful efforts to amend, the report was
alODted.

AN OVER EXPENDITURE
Causes the Discharges at the Govern
ment Printing Office.

The statement made in an evening paper
yesterday, to the effect that the reduction
Of the force in the government printing
Office on last Monday was due to the eX-
cessive expenditure of last summer and
fall, when Mr.. Rounds had charge OF the
office, is misleading in the extreme. The
appropriations for that period were brought
within the limit by Mr.. Benedict discharg-
ing over 500 employees last September. The
present discharges and furloughs are the
result Of over expenditure during the
months Of January and February, aud the
deficiency had to be taken out of the allot-
ment for the present month. The amount
of the appropriation for the quarter endiRg
March 81 is $500, 900, which with $4,000
saved from the previous quarter, and
S23,000 received from the sale of waste
paper, totals up S550,0O0. or this sum
1923, GOO was spent In January, and 500 900
in February, leaving but S127, 900 for the
current month. The expenditures of last
fall were, therefore, not only within the
quarterly allotment, but 1000 was carried
over to the present term.
